I read those two articles you linked to, tbyron – I was surprised to see such an outlandish response from the first guy, to be honest.

I think that labelling who the track was sold to is a great step in the right direction towards unDRMing music. I mean, realistically, when you buy the track, it is sold specifically to you. You can now play it however you like, but still do not have the right to freely distribute such content. Having the file tagged with your name should indeed help in persuading many people not to share.

The second article makes a decent claim in asking how said information will be used, especially with “spoofing” capabilities; however, I can’t imagine that a legal argument would hold up in court based on this fact alone if there were no reason for an individual to be in court (i.e. spoofing other names/addresses)

For the comment on “accidentally setting your purchased music folder to a p2p network” are you kidding?
